RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04037 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her home of record (HOR) be changed to reflect an address in Florida (FL). _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: She noticed her HOR was incorrect when she received permanent change of station (PCS) orders during technical training school. She had a Maryland driver’s license for a few months. Her permanent address is FL; she votes in Escambia County, FL; she has a FL driver’s license; her car is registered in FL; all her possessions are in FL; her car insurance is in FL, and FL has been her HOR for 18 years. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A. _________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force in the grade of airman first class. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force, which is attached at Exhibit C. _________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSIPE recommends denial. DPSIPE states that the Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR) for Uniformed Service Members states the “HOR” is the place recorded as the home of the individual when commissioned, appointed, enlisted, inducted, or ordered into a tour of active duty. The applicant’s records reflect Rocky Ridge, MD as the HOR at which she resided prior to entering the Air Force enlisted ranks. In addition, Rocky Ridge, MD is listed as the applicant’s HOR on her DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the United States, which in accordance with AFI 36-2608, Military Personnel Records System is the source document for HOR. The same HOR is listed on the applicant’s DD Form 1966, Record of Military Processing – Armed Forces of the United States. DPSIPE states that any correction made to a member’s HOR must be fully justified and the home, as corrected, must be the member’s actual home upon entering the Service, and not a different place selected for the member’s convenience. The complete DPSIPE evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: Her record should reflect her permanent residential location, so that moving her personal belongings will be a smoother process when she separates from the Air Force. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations. 2. The application was timely filed. 3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. We took notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of this case; however, she has not provided sufficient evidence which would lead us to believe the home of record currently reflected in her records was incorrectly recorded at the time she initially came on active duty. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. In the view of the above and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to consider this application. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application. _________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered Docket Number BC- 2012-04037 in Executive Session on 30 May 13, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: Panel Chair Member Member The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
